As a lot of shops have already closed, has anyone seen whether they are discounting stuff on the final day/s?. eg ipods reduced further than 25% etc. From what I can see stuff is dicounted to as low as it will, apart from some demo products, which looks like they are just pricing it to get rid of it.

Looks like those closing today are not discounting anything further, if given iPod for example are still 25%. Apple products have good resell value, be easy enough to gather these together and sell elsewhere quickly if need be. Who knows what conditions Apple has on retailers on prices.

I wouldn't be surprised if the stuff been bagged into rubbish bags would be dumped. There is no point keeping or attempting selling it if only $2. Easier to take to the landfill. Not like they going to lose to much of what is already lost at this stage.

I suspect they will be sending the stuff off to be auctioned as bulk lots. The apple stuff may have good resale value, but it all takes time to do and staff to pay for doing it. Not sure that ipods though are the biggest sellers at the best of time, as many people would far rather buy an iphone over an ipod. Also the warehouse you can get nearly 20% off right now off ipods with a 15% discount they have already got, and a warehouse card which gives you 5% off.

FYI: Whakatane is closed. I was hoping to find a mains power adapter as I'm heading to Europe later in the year. I then tried over the road at NL and couldn't find any, and of the three staff in there one was helping another customer and the other two preferred to sit at the front counter and talk on the phone. After waiting around five minutes, I walked out without buying anything.
